Night of the Stars
Discover why darkness is so valuable to people, nature, and the starry sky.
More Than Stars—Why We Need Darkness
When the sun goes down, a world of inestimable value to humans, animals, and nature begins. Yet true darkness is becoming increasingly rare. Artificial light is changing our nights—often without us even realizing it.
As part of the Night of the Stars, dark-sky expert Nicole Dahinden takes you on an exciting journey into the world of darkness. Learn why dark nights are far more than just a prerequisite for a breathtaking starry sky. Discover the importance of darkness for our health, wildlife, and natural ecosystems—and why protecting it is more important today than ever before.
After the talk, there will be plenty of time to explore the Space Eye. Enjoy a warming bowl of soup, explore the interactive exhibition, and discuss the topic with Nicole Dahinden. If the sky is clear, you’ll then gaze through the telescope at the night sky before an impressive live show in the planetarium rounds out the evening.
